Silver medal again for Pavlos, just like in London 2012 Olympics.
Congrats and keep watching our next athletes!.

Cheers Zenon; indeed, good news!

...i have lost my taste for the Olympics. It occurred to me a few years ago how absurd they are, as a celebration of sport.

How i wish the Special Olympics came first; such achievement should not be an afterthought and it is truly offensive to me that they are not the opening act.

...weird, eh?

Buse Savaskan although represented Turkey, she is actually Turkish Cypriot and came 10th in the Women High Jump.
Was she allowed to represent RoC?

she wanted to represent her country, the "Turkish Republic Northern Cyprus" but couldn't so she represented Turkey.

She didnt want to represent "Cyprus" and why should she?

As a sporting event, for me it is more important than the World Cup.
Much more representative for all nations of the world.
